After reaching the semifinals in Monte Carlo and coming very close to beating Alexander Zverev in Madrid, Alejandro Davidovich landed in Paris with hopes of going far in this Roland Garros 2025 which began this Sunday. The Malaga native will make his French Grand Slam debut against a compatriot: Pablo Llamas, marking the first official match between the two Spanish tennis players.

Before stepping onto the Parisian clay, Davidovich analyzed his season so far, with very positive months where he has found a great rhythm. Additionally, Alejandro reveals the impact of the psychological help he received a few years ago and discusses how he experienced Rafael Nadal's farewell a few months ago at the Davis Cup held in Malaga.

"This is the year in which I have felt closest to winning that first title. The season is still long, there are many tournaments, and, obviously, every week I try to go farther and beat better players, but above all, I try to enjoy on the court and give my best version," said the Spanish tennis player in an interview with RG. "It all started in May last year, when I left the coach I had had my whole life and decided to make a change."

Outside of his comfort zone

"I moved from Spain to Monaco, where the best players train, and rebuilt my team. It is true that until November I still had someone from the old team with me, but it was like starting from scratch. It wasn't easy. I was quite out of myself, wishing the season would end because the decision was not simple, but I do not regret a second of leaving that comfort zone and facing those fears."

About psychological help

"When I was younger, I worked more with a psychologist, but it has been a long time since I did. I don't think it helped me much. It's more about a change within you and what you want to do. In the end, if you decide to do something, it doesn't matter if 20 people tell you. And if you don't want to do it, you won't. The only way to face those fears is to decide for yourself that you don't need anyone's help to do it, and that's what I did."

Rafa Nadal's farewell

"I found it very sad. I think they had planned a better farewell for later, but since Spain lost in the first round, it was what it was. When I saw it, I said, 'A tennis legend does not deserve a farewell like this.' And not only in tennis, but also off the court. For me, all the tournaments in the world should pay homage to him. Roland Garros is one of them. Nadal is the one who has won this Grand Slam the most times, so it will undoubtedly be a beautiful moment."
